From number one New York Times best-selling author Daniel Silva, this summer’s hottest thriller.

Now you see her.

Now you don’t.

THE NEW GIRL.

A new thriller of deception, betrayal, and vengeance.

She was covered from head to toe in expensive wool and plaid, the sort of stuff one saw at the Burberry boutique in Harrods. She carried a leather bookbag rather than a nylon backpack. Her patent leather ballet slippers were glossy and bright. She was proper, the new girl, modest.

But there was something else about her....

At an exclusive private school in Switzerland, mystery surrounds the identity of the beautiful raven-haired girl who arrives each morning in a motorcade fit for a head of state. She is said to be the daughter of a wealthy international businessman. In truth, her father is Khalid bin Mohammed, the much-maligned crown prince of Saudi Arabia. Once celebrated for his daring social and religious reforms, he is now reviled for his role in the murder of a dissident journalist. And when his only child is brutally kidnapped, he turns to the one man he can trust to find her before it is too late.

What’s done cannot be undone....

Gabriel Allon, the legendary chief of Israeli intelligence, has spent most of his life fighting terrorists, including the murderous jihadists financed by Saudi Arabia. Prince Khalid - or KBM, as he is known - has pledged to finally break the bond between the Kingdom and radical Islam. For that reason alone, Gabriel regards him as a valuable, if flawed, partner. Together, they will become unlikely allies in a deadly secret war for control of the Middle East. The life of a child, and the throne of Saudi Arabia, hang in the balance. Both men have made their share of enemies. And both have everything to lose.

Filled with dark humor, breathtaking twists of plot, and an unforgettable cast of characters, The New Girl is both a thrilling, pause-resisting tale of entertainment and a sophisticated study of political alliances and great-power rivalries in a dangerous world. And it is once again proof that Gabriel Allon is “one of fiction’s greatest spies” (Kirkus) and Daniel Silva is “quite simply the best” (Kansas City Star) writer of foreign intrigue and suspense at work today.

Will Gabriel Allon ever get to retire? Not if Daniel Silva keeps cranking these out. Again, great plot and narration, (altho I would say that a reader new to this series might have been a bit lost in places -- lots of references to previous "operations" described in previous books of the series.

Another Hit for Silva

Having lived in KSA for 20 years, I found the author’s depiction of Saudi culture to be fairly accurate. If only peace in the region were that simple.

So many twists and turns!

I love Daniel Silva. His books are always timely and are more like non-fiction sometimes, they are so current. This one was no exception. The telling of a story that could have been ripped from the headlines requires so much attention to detail, and Silva nailed it, so much so that I really had to pay attention to the Prologue to separate fact from fiction. Well done! I am hoping a new book is coming soon!

His Best

Page turning, fast-paced, newer-a-dull-moment kind of mystery. Daniel Silva gives us a new POV on something we have read about in the news and think we know what happened. Very good! I would definitely recommend it.

I like all of the Allon series, but have felt some of the previous were a little slow and weren’t quite as good as they’d been. I found this one to be refreshing and bring that excitement back that some had been lacking. Great read, onto the next.

He’s back!

The present-day context of The New Girl, with its fictitious yet somewhat parallel events, makes this book a powerful metaphor, a vehicle of self-examination and of warning. Thank you, and thanks to Guidall for his always excellent narration.

Excellent!

OUTSTANDING! I appreciated every moment of this book. Although I've rated Daniel Silva's books quite high most of the time, there were a few that were less than spectacular. I've kept reading or listening, however, because nearly all were excellent. This one... I cannot wait until the next. Appreciate knowing so many of the characters in this one and appreciated the incredible plot.

If I could give this 6's across the board, I would

I've been a huge fan of Silva (and this genre of spy novels) for a decade and Silva is one of the best. Each of his books gets better and better and each time I finish I'm not sure how he'll ever be able to top the last one. George Guidall also adds to the book - not only is George my favorite reader of all time but he's almost an extension of Daniel Silva himself. Great plot, builds on previous books, character development is strong. Highly recommend but this one is better if you read the one just before (The Other Woman).

Like fine wine, Silva gets better with time
